Role of swimming pool chemicals in pool water maintenance


Commonly used for exercise, recreation, hydrotherapy, and leisure, swimming pool like any other natural water body is vital and needs regular maintenance for its longer operational ability. This swimming pool maintenance requires various physical, chemical and technological aspects to keep it free of safe, germs free and sparkling at all times and it’s not an easy task.

“Nobody likes jumping into a dirty pool”

Swimming pool is continuously filled with visibly clean but untreated water, oxidizing minerals, and other materials that might not be good for swimmer’s skin. The conditions around any pool are ideal for microbial growth, which calls for continuous monitoring. Pool water, interior and filter are three major components that need to be taken care of to keep any pool in good and swimmable condition. Now, let us understand some common issues faced by pools.

·         Pool water often gets dirty with leaves, twigs, animal droppings, insects, bugs, etc since it is mostly in open surroundings. Not only limited to it, swimmers may leave behind saliva, mucous, dead skins, etc.

·         Pool water may undergo algal bloom if not used for a long period of time. Since the water is stagnant, it may act as a breeding space for mosquitoes, insects, etc.

·         The water turns acidic, after a point of time, causing irritation to eyes, nose, and throat of swimmers, and corroding metallic components in the pool.

·         Alkalinity of pool water rises when the pH level of water rises causing skin irritation and corrosion in tiles, floors, and other pool components

Chemtex Speciality Limited, a speciality chemical manufacturer and solution provider, has an entire pool care range that has water disinfectants, algaecide, cleaners and pool maintenance chemicals.

·         Pool Chlor, TCCA 90 granules is a stable source of chlorine, is for removal of infection causing germs and bacteria that may survive in water, source being infected bathers. It is a good alternative option to oxidizing and unstable bleaching powder.

·         Pool Cide, is an organic, chlorine-free algaecide, used against green, black and mustard algal bloom.  It is rapid, and is effective even against slime formers, bacteria and other harmful germs.

·         Pool Clean, for removal of stubborn pool deposits, and calcium scaling from equipment and pool filters.

·         Pool Clear, polymer based pool clarifier, that traps suspended solids, debris, scum, and oil, leaving clean, bright, and sparkling pools.

·         Pool pH balancing chemicals, to keep the pH of pool water between 7.2 – 7.6, in a way, offsetting the adversities of low and high pH water.

H2S – A Silent Ultimatum to Oilfields

H 2 S Scavenger Chemical – Introduction The world has witnessed a substantial increase in E&P of crude oil to meet the need for globalization, leading to drilling of ‘deemed undesirable’ sites, owing to the presence of higher concentration of acidic gases like hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, etc. These hazardous gases require proper measures before disposal or scavenging. Of these, Hydrogen sulphide/ H 2 S is the most threatening one, especially in confined or ill ventilated places. The characteristic rotten egg smell makes H 2 S recognition easy even at lower concentrations. Hydrogen Sulphide is toxic, acidic and extremely corrosive at higher concentrations. Heavier than air, it is found more near base level of the working sites. Then comes its inflammability, which may cause explosive reaction with air molecules. With peroxides, ammonia and other oxidizing chemicals, H 2 S often goes through combustible reactions, ...

Acid Corrosion Inhibitor – Chemtex Speciality Limited

  Acid Corrosion Inhibitors are the most important inhibitor of any operation, preventing the impact of corrosion on exposed metal, tubular, downhole equipment, and surfaces and maximizing longevity, minimizing the operational cost. Corrosion is the chemical interaction with the environment that cause the deterioration of materials and it is unavoidable for all metals. When acids come into contact with metals, they initiate chemical reactions that lead to corrosion. Acid corrosion inhibitors work by forming a protective layer on the metal surface, which acts as a barrier against the corrosive acids. This layer prevents direct contact between the acid and the metal, thus inhibiting the corrosive process. Mechanisms of Acid Corrosion Inhibition Acid corrosion inhibitors work by forming a protective layer on the metal surface, which acts as a barrier against the corrosive acids.
